this hour sings obscenities
over a fat man's belly on good digestion
and it belches the words
this is why I throw them in English
another quality of this after glut time
is to be special for roughness
so, we may spit the druggist's shop of the sun
and say: What
do you want? and "Go to hell"
the minutes bite like mosquitoes
this is an Intervention time
this is an hour to be said by yankee trumpets
just up there in the Campo de Marte
O! the houses are groggy under the blows of heaven
you will never get for your hair a ribbon
or a star from the north-american banner!
